Abstract
"The problem and review of the literature: The history of newspapers in Callaway County, Missouri, covers a period of more than 120 years. Since 1839, when Warren Woodson, Jr., founded the first newspaper in the county and one of the first west of the Mississippi -- the Banner of Liberty -- the county has never been without a newspaper. More than forty newspapers have been started in the county and more than half of this number in the county seat, Fulton. Some of these papers operated for generations, while others survived for only a few weeks. Many were important insofar as they affected the area socially and politically; others are important only as a matter of record. This study will cover the entire 120-year period of newspapers in the "Kingdom of Callaway, giving special emphasis to those newspapers, their editors and owners, considered most important by the writer."--Introduction.
